Visiting Choirs

We warmly welcome visiting choirs to sing at Cathedral services when the Cathedral Choir is not in residence.

Parish choirs, school and college choirs and professional ensembles from around the world all help us to uphold the highest musical standards in our worship.

Prospective visiting choirs are asked to email with details of their membership and recent singing experience. Visiting choirs normally need to bring their own organist of a professional standard, who is at ease with playing a large Cathedral instrument.
